DESCRIPTION
These programs help maintain a file system on a local disk
for a private machine.
Home partitions a disk, copies the appropriate kernel to the
disk, and makes a new file system on the disk. To do this,
it overwrites the vendor-supplied software on the disk with
a copy of Plan 9. 40meg, 80meg, and 100meg configure disks
and make file systems for disks of the appropriate size.
Update copies the current kernel to the disk and updates
files on the local file system. It only updates those files
put there by the home program.
Personalize removes the contents of the /usr directory on
the local disk and copies a minimal set of files for the
user who runs the command.
The file /rc/bin/nextstation/Disclabel, despite its name, is
not an rc(1) script. It contains the second stage bootstrap
program for Nextstations booting from local disk. Before
booting a Plan 9 Nextstation from disk, it should be
installed in the partition /dev/hd1label; this is normally
done by nexstation/home.
